Abstract The Institute for Organizational Assessment at the Navy Personnel Research, Studies, and Technology Department (NPRST) is actively pursuing in a variety of research on the feasibility, validity and reliability of large-scale Internet-based personnel surveys.  At the present, researchers in the Navy have conducted studies evaluating the impact of mode of administration on response rates, data quality, and social desirability.  Future research will focus on such issues as internal questionnaire logic, response-set behavior, optimal survey length, break-off patterns, and the impact of color and design features on response patterns.  Internet-based survey research presents a number of challenges for Navy researchers.  Some of the major challenges include uneven distribution of Internet access, varying levels of experience with the Internet, lack of a central database of email addresses, and Department of Defense Internet security restrictions.  In addition, because at any given time approximately half of the force is forward deployed or on temporary training assignments it is extremely difficult to contact all members of a survey sample.  This presentation will cover major findings from Navy Internet-based survey research, describe the current Navy survey strategy, and provide an overview of the major practical and organizational issues faced by Navy researchers.
